How would high humidity help a land animal survive in a hot environment?
High humidity reduces water loss by the body, thus keeping the animal cooler in hot conditions.
Why evaporation of sweat slows down when the relative humidity is high?
Sweating, by itself, does nothing to cool the body, unless the water is removed by evaporation -- and high relative humidity retards evaporation. This explains why it feels so much hotter in high humidity. When relative humidity reaches a high enough level, the body's natural cooling system simply can't work. Sweat evaporates very slowly, if at all, and the body heats up. In extreme cases, people begin to suffer from heat cramps or heat stroke, which is basically organ failure as the body begins to cook itself.
What are the effects of humidity on gas turbine performance?
an increase in relative humidity will increase the Gas turbine output. and thermal efficiency. when the ambient tempeature is high at that time also if RH is high it will have a slight positive impact on GT output & Efficiency.
How does the water evaporate when the humidity is high?
The evaporation is not significant at high humidity.
Do jasmine flowers need high humidity or low?
high humidity
Can high blood pressure have good effects on the body?
No.
What is relationship between relative humidity and temperature?
There is an effect if you're a living being and trying to cool down. Humidity does not change the temperature. It will make it difficult for your body to cool down, so it 'feels' hotter with humidity. Sweat has to evaporate for your body to cool down. It's harder to evaporate when the air is already saturated with water (ie high humidity).
How does high humidity affect transpiration?
High humidity reduces the rate of transpiration.
What is more comfortable - high humidity or low humidity?
A day with low humidityLow humidity. High humidity will prevent sweat from evaporating and hence make you feel warmer.
How does body gain heat during periods of high humidity?
Through their mouth which is urinated through their whole.
Why high humidity makes us feel hotter in hot weather?
One of our body's mechanisms to cool us down is to sweat. In a low humidity environment the sweat can evaporate, absorbing extra heat from our body to help cool it. In high humidity, it is much more difficult - or impossible - for the sweat to evaporate and thus we can't get the benefit of the evaporative cooling.
